The temperature got all the way down to 34°F this morning. I was right! A tad lower. Very close to freezing, a new record low for this date actually. I tell you what though, the only reason it didn’t hit freezing was because of a gentle breeze we had all night. When the air is still, sporadic cold pockets of air can form on the ground as all the warmer air rises into the atmosphere, resulting in some areas experiencing frost while others nearby don’t. But when there is a constant breeze like there was last night, that cold air is constantly mixed with the warmer air, preventing those cold pockets from forming.
